AI is an initialism since you don't pronounce AI. NASA would be an acronym because you pronounce the word.

this is one of those facts i have to struggle to keep to myself to avoid coming off as an insufferable nerd

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 20 points 2 months ago

Wait you do not pronounce AI like a Sopranos character that just found an eye ball on the sidewalk?

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't tell me what to do.

Do SQL next!

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Correct:

"Sequel"
Structured Query Language

Incorrect:

"Squall"
"Es-queue-el"

The one that people really screw up? PostgreSQL.

It's interesting that Wikipedia says it's pronounced " S-Q-L" but was historically pronounced "sequel."

Also interesting, MySQL says on their site:

The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.

Lastly, for those curious, PostgreSQL says on their site:

PostgreSQL is pronounced Post-Gres-Q-L.

Since ChatGPT learns from internet users, does that mean the majority of internet users are autistic?

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 114 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You already know the answer to that one lol

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

A place known for highly obsessive and weirdly specific knowledge experts? Surely not

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 98 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

As a probably not autistic person, email is one area where warmth is not wanted. Just get to the point, I have a dozen more to get through. And that's precisely why you shouldn't use AI to write email, AI rambles, I want 1-2 sentences, short phrases are fine.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At my job, Email is either:

Jira notifications
Long ramblings about some project or fire that happened

All other communication is through our chat (zulip, like Slack) or video calls.

I remember dealing with short emails back in the day. But id flip out these days.

Rua must never have worked tech support. I've been accused of being a robot more times than I can count, years before ChatGPT was even a thing.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nice try, robot.

Nice try, AI powered AI detector.

I just see two autistics attempting to communicate by email.

[–] Cornflake_Dog@lemmy.wtf 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Sent from Proton Mail mobile 😭😭😭

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Does that confirm it?

[–] Cornflake_Dog@lemmy.wtf 16 points 2 months ago

As a Proton user? Definitely.

You really cannot blame them. Especially when Universities partner with OpenAI and cut off all ways to contact advisors aside from text and email right before admissions.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Should’ve just said “Ain’t AI. I just dgaf”

It’s work email not a love letter.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

If only their next meeting had been on a Tuesday, that would have been the perfect plausibly deniable "fuck you" to end the reply with 😄
